Thank you Mum for my life. Thank you for my best friends, my brother and sisters. Thank you for caring for me and meeting all of my needs. Thank you for continually modelling right from wrong. Thank you for your sacrifice and your non-stop work and your red raw hands. Thank you for welcoming Kylie into our family and for being so fond of her. Thank you for the love you gave to your grandchildren and for making them feel so special. Thank you for these tears and this hurt because I know what I have lost and what I have gained by being your son. Thank you for your love that allowed us all to find love and to have the joy of giving love. This has ultimately led us to find happiness and meaning in life. Mum, you loved us and taught us how to love. We grieve today because of that love… and this is your greatest gift to us. Thank you, Mum. Tom.
